These trails are flat to rolling hills with some short climbs. minus the big drop into the canyon and back up at mile 6-11 of both races! These trails are not technical by trail standards but there are some rocks and roots. You will find miles 3-5 to be more technical. You will run the following trails: West Rim Trail, Waterfalls Trail, Sitton's Gulch Trail and many more,

So bring your cameras and be ready for a race like no other. Running in and around the canyon will make you forget you're in Georgia.

The West Rim Trail is EXTREMELY rocky and technical aka mile 3-5. Sittons Gulch Trail is a beautiful path that follows a creek. When you run this you will feel like you are in the Pacific Northwest.
